Different kind of performance. Similar to Shakespeare’s time, actors were given just 20 hours to learn their lines. Introduce Hadley [Kamminga-Peck], Dramaturg & Prompter. Kinda fun to see actors miss lines, turn to the lady seated off-stage & request dialogue.

What else was unique? Audience members were provided red or white flags (Lancaster or York) – & encouraged to root for their ‘House’. “Take off his head” I screamed. 20 minutes later, booed/hissed when a member of my House, Clifford, was slain.

Tonite’s STAR – Queen Margaret, House of Lancaster. Wore a sword, led an army. The crowd cheered ‘Henry’, I bellowed: MARGARET!!

NOT the Shakespeare of my youth. Far exceeded all expectations – FAANNN-frickin-TASTIC!

[2014] Kicked off the weekend at Louisville Street Faire listening to live outdoor music, filling up on pizza & ice cream…

[2015] Bowling, “Toy Story” Uno (family game night), Louisville Street Faire – and blink…it’s time for all to go home…

Street Faire (Louisville) – All summer, every Friday night on Front Street (just off Main). Food, booze, crafts & LIVE music. Not sure what excuse I was floating last year – but 2017, happy to be back in the WIN column. Loser streak over.
